No, the newest version of SX OS will not burn your fuses. Your GC will be updated if it hasn't been already.
With AutoRCM installed, a Switch that's off will boot into RCM when given a power source; it will not boot into Horizon. If you removed AutoRCM, then it should boot into Horizon when given a power source. However, if you booted your Switch without AutoRCM installed, then you've burnt your efuses, and you're trapped on 5.1.0 and higher.
It uses the briccmii version.
So if I would like to downgrade in future back to 3.0.0, I would still be able to use my cartidges?
I am slightly confused as the FAQ states this
Q: I've never run firmware 4.0.0 or higher on my switch, so my gamecard controller firmware is still not updated. How do i make sure my gamecard controller works after i downgrade back to < 4.0.0 ?
A: When flashing the firmware image for any 4.0.0 or later firmware, ChoiDujourNX will generate a protective hekate_ipl.ini on your microsd, with a "PreventGCUpdate" launch target. You must ALWAYS boot using this launch target (or add kip1patch=nogc to any launch target you wish to use in the future) and use a Hekate that supports the kip1patch option (releases here do
if you want to prevent use and updating of your GC controller firmware on firmware versions 4.0.0 and up
You will not be able to use game cartridges on 3.0.0 if you update your GC software. If you run SX OS while using 4.0.0 or higher, your GC software will be automatically updated.So if I would like to downgrade in future back to 3.0.0, I would still be able to use my cartidges?

It might be possible to downgrade the GC in the future, but this is currently impossible.
Honestly, the GC software isn't that important. If you ever do downgrade to 3.0.0, you're probably not going to use its GC software. You will hypothetically use 3.0.0 to boot an up-to-date emuNAND with a functional GC.

hi there @rajkosto i just want to thank you for your great job,i just used ChoiDujourNX to update to 6.0.0 with no fuses burn and works like a charm,i would like to make a donation to you.
thank you very much again and keep the great job !!! thanks!!
you need to extract the update partition from the xci first. easiest way is probably with https://github.com/StudentBlake/XCI-Explorer/releases
xci need to be extracted,, choidujour uses nca files..
Doesn't 4.1.0 already have exfat guys ? or am i wrong here or it just supports it right..... Have you tried just putting a exfat sd into the switch Bullseye..
Follow what @shchmue said about extraction
no Switch comes with exFAT regardless of firmware, period. it has to be installed either online legit (req latest firmware), with this tool, load a correctly tailored FS.kip, or with one of the methods mentioned where you rewrite your pkg2 with the one from the exFAT firm A NCA.
Just a question could you not just update with the KERBY XCI if you have XS OS , I understand ripping it out if you are not
I know that lol no need for the !!! Lol my question was if someone was on XS OS and they wanted to do a update via a XCI. EXAUSE THEY BANNED etc
yes i read that , if say he was on XS OS would it work with running that XCI to get the exfat update ? I know he is not
no, although the update partition on games does include the exFAT NCAs, you can't do it like a cartridge update, it still wants to validate online to get it.
Okay got it , thank you, mine did that before i got banned, just now waiting for 6.0 to drop and was/am hoping to update via a XCI or via ChoiDujourNX
it'll probably be a while before a game is bundled with 6.0 on the cartridge, well after the firmware is released OTA
